Introductory workshop for iGEM team UANL 2013


In mid-January 2013, students interested on becoming members of the iGEM team UANL 2013 were invited to a four day introductory workshop with the main objective of training them to develop the basic theoretical knowledge for the competition by introducing them to basic Molecular and Synthetic Biology topics, to the tools of Genetic Engineering and to what the competition consists in.

The workshop took place in the Biological Science School at the UANL, three hours per day and the topics were the following:


Day Topics
Day Topic 1: DNA Topic 2: Genes and their functions
Day 2 Topic 3: Proteins Topic 4: Genetic Engineering
Day 3 Topic 5: Synthetic Biology and BioBricks Topic 6: Biobricks and their functions
Day 4 Topic 7: Biological machines and their applications Topic 8: iGEM UANL

By the end of the workshop, besides of acquiring the basic knowledge required for the competition, the students –who come from different generations and disciplines–, had the opportunity to interact and meet their team mates, strengthening their relation and making the project an experience they can fully enjoy.
